"Reality"

I'm not mad

Please do see

Don't be blind

Just understand me

I know what's real

I know what's not

I just get lonely

More often than not

No one's here

Not anymore

All who I know

are at heaven's door

There's no one left here

They emptied my heart

It died along with them

They tore me apart

I couldn't take it

Could not be alone

My mind won't accept it

That they're all dead as stone

My head kept them alive

Kept them all living

I know it's a lie

But it's better than dying inside

Someone came along

He pulled me out of myself

Told me not to worry

That there's still someone who cares

I never told him

the secret I kept

That I used to imagine

My family who left

For once I was happy

My heart came alive

I let them go now,

Accepted truth instead of lie

For so long

have I lived in my head

It felt so good

To live in reality again

I had someone I loved

And he loves me too

But then he found out

What I have kept all through

"I'm fine, I'm okay

I know that they're gone

I've fully accepted

that fact, I've moved on"

He didn't believe me

He called me insane

I begged at his feet

Pleaded him to stay

He didn't budge

Said it was for my own good

He sent me away

With one last "I love you"

She's not mad

Please do see

Don't be blind

Understand her agony

She knows what's real

She knows what's not

What's real just hurts

more often than not

The pain was too much

Too much to bear

So she kept him with her

Though he's really not there

She lives in her mind

Where she's happy to be

Along with her love

Away from reality

"I'm not mad

Please do see

Don't be blind

Please understand me"

He held my hand

Gazed deep in my eyes

"I won't ever leave you"

He said by my side

I leaned in closer

My heart full of love

Gently I whispered

"Please don't ever wake me up"
